The menu represented a shift from old ways of doing company meals. When I was planning the meal, I realized I wanted to make something that would not result in unhealthy leftovers like lasagna hanging around the fridge. With the exception of the cookies and baguette, I planned for leftovers that would be useful. Grilled leftover steak and salmon can be tossed into a main dish salad, rolled into a whole wheat wrap or stirred into sautéed vegetables. The couscous, even better with some added pine nuts, would be frozen and later served with kabobs or be a good way to jazz up grilled chicken, or another fish meal.

The cookies, however, had to go. When my friend saw the large bag of cookies I was packing up for her, she asked if I wanted the leftover salad. She had thoughtfully served the dressing and croutons on the side, so that produce had potential.

For lunch this afternoon, I cut up leftover cold, grilled salmon and added it to a hefty amount of the leftover salad. I tossed the salad with two tablespoons of Newman’s Own Red Wine and Vinegar dressing.
